I bought this truck 2 and a half years ago and from day one it has been nothing but trouble. I was sold a lemon I have spend God knows how much on this truck and now it sits in the yard with a cracked turbo, electrical issues and transmission problems that I've been told has been a problem along time and I'd have to agree. Within the first 3 months of owning the truck it was in the shop 3 or 4 times. I had all kinds of warranty's added to my loan that I wasn't aware of and I've tried having the issue handled but Ford dealership will not tdo anything about it. I still over over 20,000 dollars on this truck I don't know if you can help but if you can I'd greatly appreciate it. I've had numerous sensors replaced, cv joints replaced, a arms replaced,...
The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for tire rotation, the dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that it was a known failure. A case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.
Premature failure of left front coil spring with approximately 103,000 miles on truck.. Spring is still not repaired. I believe the broken state of this spring could have steering and handling implications to both this vehicle and others under certain conditions while operating vehicle on rough roadways, especially pothole laden ones. This spring failure was brought to my attention by may local Ford dealer during a routine inspection. I reported the premature failure to Ford Motor Company during a detailed chat session on line and also a detailed letter mailed to Ford. My only warning was when my dealer reported it to me. I did some online research and this seems to a fairly common occurrence. I also believe Ford is aware that this problem is related to inferior material and or workmanship of these coil springs, with the spring coating being related to the premature failure.
I HAVE A 2014 F150 FORD TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS. I WAS OUTSIDE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THUNK. I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND TO FIND WHAT IT WAS AND SAW SOMETHING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. LOOKING AT IT I FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BROKEN PIECE OF CURVED ROD ABOUT 5/8 INCH IN DIAMETER. LOOKING FURTHER I FOUND IT WAS OFF THE COIL OVER SPRING WHICH HAD BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A CLEAN BREAK WITH NO CRACKS IN THE METAL AND DID NOT LOOK LIKE THERE HAD BEEN ANY REASON FOR IT TO BREAK. THE TRUCK HAS 44000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THAT IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THAT THE METAL WAS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CARPORT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE HOUSE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND FOUR OF THEM HAD TO BE BROKEN IN ORDER TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO VICKSBURG FORD LINCOLN (2431 N FRONTAGE RD, VICKSBURG, MS 39180), BUT THE REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED.

AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH AND THEN THE WOBBLE WILL STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STABILIZER, BRAKES AND ROSTERS, NEW TIRES, AND BALANCES.
MY TIRE SPEC AND PRESSURE LABEL IS INCORRECT, COLD PSI IS SHOWN AT 55 PSI FRONT AND 60 PSI REAR AND THE TPMS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE IF UNDER 55 AND 60. ALL LOCAL FORD SERVICE ADVISERS SAY IT SHOULD BE 35PSI. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF VIBRATION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND FEEL THIS HAS PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK NOT TO MENTION THE PREMATURE WEAR ON MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.
WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM VACATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED DOWN ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL AND WENT INTO A GUARD RAIL, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK CAME AROUND AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FLIP. ONCE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP THEY HAD TO CUT THE ROOF OFF AND WINDSHIELD TO GET US OUT. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY SON FOLLOWED WITH THE SHERIFF AND OUR DOG. THERE IS NO EXPLAINATION TO WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE CAME OFF WITH ONLY A FEW MARKS AND FULLY INTACT. THE MYSTERY TO EVERYONE IS WHY IS THERE ONLY HALF A RIM??? THE RIM WAS OFF THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE TIRE BEING OFF THE RIM IN THE...
